Hi, let me help you with this.

#

The easiest way is to create an actual Subscription in Test mode, and use test clocks: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/testing/test-clocks

#

I've already looked at this but I don't see how I can do, for example, test that the customer's subscription is not renewed because their bank card does not go through for one reason or another?

#

Can I execute anything with any client already register ? Like take one of the client I have in test mode, and send a update of his subscription which simulated a card refused ? Or something like that

tranquil gale Mar 25, 2024, 9:15 AM

#

Subscription declines is best tested with 3DSecure test cards: https://docs.stripe.com/testing?testing-method=card-numbers#authentication-and-setup
You can use the "Always authenticate" test card which will work when used on-session, but it will fail for the subsequent automatic charges.

#

Ok so how I trigger customer.subscription.updated with status = unpaid on a specific client in test mode ?

tranquil gale Mar 25, 2024, 9:34 AM

#

What do you mean by "a specific client" exactly?

#

You mean Customer?

paper rock Mar 25, 2024, 9:35 AM

#

An already register customer

#

I have customers with active subscriptions in Stripe, which are linked to my app. I would like to be able to change their subscription status in order to verify that the webhooks and the code that I have associated with them in my endpoints do what I expect.

tranquil gale Mar 25, 2024, 9:42 AM

#

As I suggested, you can use the 3DS test cards that always require authentication. Use the Test clock in order not to have to wait for the time to pass.

#

I used the card with "Fond insuffisants" here : https://docs.stripe.com/testing?testing-method=card-numbers#authentification-et-configuration, then I used the Test Clock to renewel the subscription. I have received a customer.subscription.updated with status = active, is this normal ? Should I not have a status = unpaid with this card ?

Test payment methods

Use test cards to validate your Stripe integration without moving real money. Test a variety of international scenarios, including successful and declined payments, card errors, disputes, and bank authentication. You can also test non-card payment methods and redirects.

It will make a few attempts before marking the Subscription as unpaid.
I also don't think you should be able to add this card to a Subscription, since it is supposed to always fail. That's why I suggested using 3DS card - it will work for on-session payments, when you create the Subscription, but will fail for the subsequent Subscription renewals.

paper rock Mar 25, 2024, 9:57 AM

#

The card is in the "Authentication 3D Secure" section, how could I know it's not a 3DS card ? Which one should I use in this case ?

tranquil gale Mar 25, 2024, 10:00 AM

#

I suggest using this one

paper rock Mar 25, 2024, 10:10 AM

#

Ok I get it, I didn't used test clock correctly, thanks for the help !

tranquil gale Mar 25, 2024, 10:12 AM

#

Happy to help.

I have another question, sorry ! Is this normal that when I set a card 42424242424242 with a expiration date to 12/2024, and then I renewel the subscription the 25/03/2025, that the renewel is ok ? How to configure a card that expires between the subscription creation period and the renewal period? So I can test that the renewel didn't work.

tranquil gale Mar 25, 2024, 10:32 AM

#

I guess the expiry date for test cards don't matter. There's a test card that declines with Expired card decline, however, again, you won't be able to test it with Subscription renewal because it will fail when you try to attach it. So the only way to test failure on Subscription renewal is 3DS cards.

paper rock Mar 25, 2024, 10:33 AM

#

Yes but I can't set a card which is declined on a customer profile in "default payment method", the card is refused instantly, I wan't to get the rejection when I set the renewel, how can I do that ?

tranquil gale Mar 25, 2024, 10:38 AM

#

That's what I was saying above, it's impossible, unfortunately. You can only replicate this flow with 3DS card.

paper rock Mar 25, 2024, 10:46 AM

#

Ok but this only test that the 3DS didn't worked, right ? Not that the card is perished or has insufficient funds?

tranquil gale Mar 25, 2024, 10:48 AM

#

Yes, but the only difference will be the error code.

#

Ok thanks, that the point I didn't get but ok, I think I have to trust your process.

tranquil gale Mar 25, 2024, 10:51 AM

#

Yes, unfortunately, there's no way to test other error codes right now.
